How Can We Increase Our Faith in Jesus Christ ?
We Can Increase Our Faith Through Prayer
President Spencer W. Kimball explained,
“There must be works with faith. How foolish it would be to ask the Lord to give us knowledge, but how
wise to ask the Lord’s help to acquire knowledge, to study constructively, to think clearly, and to retain things that we have learned” (Faith Precedes the Miracle [1972], 205; italics in original).
An Important Way to Increase Our Faith is to
Hear and Study the Word of the Lord
Blessings That Follow Faith
• miracles are wrought;
• angels appear;
• other gifts of the Spirit are given;
• prayers are answered;
• men become the
sons of God
“When faith comes it brings … apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, gifts, wisdom, knowledge, miracles, healings, tongues, interpretation of tongues, etc. All these appear when faith appears on the earth, and disappear when it disappears from the earth; for these are the effects of faith. … And he who possesses it will, through it, obtain all necessary knowledge and wisdom, until he shall know God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, whom he has sent—whom to know is eternal life” (Lectures on Faith [1985], 83).
